Will Herman has a posting titled When To Tet Rid Of The "Best" People That Work For You, with some personal experience on handling the "900lb gorillas" that so many firms seem to have.
A 'sound-byte' :
"One of the problems I encountered more often than I'd like to admit took me a very long time to figure out. It's the problem of having one of the best people working for me in terms of performance to their assigned task also being a performance black hole for the rest of the organization. You know the type, they usually consume more of the manager's time than anyone else; they openly vent disagreements in direction or goals in a negative manner without regard to who's listening; they spend hours each day discussing all that is wrong with the company or group with people that are not as productive and, therefore, can't afford that time; and they completely ignore the impact of their natural leadership position by virtue of their high-performance and productivity."
